Thanks for checking.  I guess webp images are rare for me, but darn,
maybe I'll be looking for a new viewer too. :-(  And after I'm nicely
trained on qiv.  :-)

I did a quick search and found this link with quite a bit of
information.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/544254/which-image-viewers-in-linux-support-the-webp-image-format

The big thing I liked there is that there is a command to convert webp
to png using the webp package.  And the libwebp and libwebp-tools
packages are available in Fedora.  So, I can just convert the files and
still use qiv (or you could just keep using xv).  Maybe it is possible
to put this in qiv directly somehow.

From the link, haven't tried it as I don't have a webp file:

alias convertwebp="find ./ -name "*.webp" -exec dwebp {} -o {}.png \;;
find . -type f -name '*.webp' -delete"

Looks like it is destructive, removing the webp files after they are
converted to png.

There also is the package qview described there that supports viewing
webp images, and it also is in the Fedora repositories.
